nothing says meh like adding a bunch of humans to the scene.

The Upper Class suites and seats up front might be “stunning”, but most passengers will be in the “meh” economy seats in the back. 8-abreast 2-4-2 layout, with varying amounts of legroom depending on which rung of the economy ladder the passengers in steerage paid for.

........... anyone else recall the announcements of the "stunning" Dreamliner and a350 interiors; you know, the ones where they told us we would be welcomed into a foyer before we are told right or left?

Now, how many have you walked into a foyer on one of these new aircraft and not through a galley as it has been since commercial flight began............. I will wait right here for answers.

Stnuning? LEGROOM AND SHOULDER BEFITTING A HUMAN BEING IS STUNNING!
ALL THE REST IS 'MEH', WASTE OF MONEY, AND MARKETING BS OF THE WORST KIND.

The first airline to offer sufficient room for a normal human will be the one to which people will run, even if every pretty-face designer would cringe. Room to live will win big time! anything smaller than 34" pitch should be outlawed!

Does praise in advertisements ever have any actual meaning to it?

Here's hoping they, and other airlines, have the manpower to staff these planes.

Economy gets purple lights and new seats that already look like they're straight out of the 70's, LOL.

When you look at the number of seats in economy versus the number of seats in business, yes, the economics dictate that those at the front are paying the bulk of the flight cost. However, without the economy class section, the front of the plane would not be viable on its own. If I remember correctly the minimum seat leg space was 34" as dictated by IATA. What ever happened to change that? people are getting very fed up with cattle-car treatment, especially with higher fares, and airlines can expect a reaction from their passengers going forward. Flight is an amazing way to travel, but comfort and a sense of decency should also be recognized for we, the plebs, in the back rows. Recently on a BA flight LUX-LHR the crew announced that business class passengers would be served lunch, those in economy would receive water and a snack. Bread and water for those of you in the dungeon????? C'mon airlines, smarten up before its too late.

Nice, if your one of those who can afford a suite. We can’t so all we care about is legroom and seats that don’t tilt so much that the asshat in front of you is crowding into your space. Hell I never use the tilt feature so I could care less if they get rid of it all together.

I have never seen an airplane seat that tilts.

Peter Fuller 2
Nor have I, though tilt in the context of Tim’s comment means seatback recline, a feature of much irritation in steerage where seat pitch is minimal.
